Abstract excerpt
The class II and class I chitin synthases of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans are encoded by chsA and chsC, respectively. Previously, we presented several lines of evidence suggesting that ChsA and ChsC have overlapping functions in maintaining cell wall integrity. In order to determine the functions of these chitin synthases, we employed electron and fluorescence microscopy and investigated in detail...
